Easter 2012

We had a really good Easter, the kids had fun coloring the eggs...

They had lots of fun finding the eggs after church, all of the kids walked away with huge baskets of eggs filled with candy.

And hubby barbecued with my daughter supervising...

This is something we have not done for 2 years. I thought it was about time and I am glad we did, we ended up with lots of left overs (expected a lot more family) but its a start. When you loose a family member and that family member had one thing that they loved, (having a barbecue with family) and they are not here with you anymore it takes a lot out of it. I think though with this first BBQ we will have many more this summer and more family will come.

Our Family

I live in a 140 year old farm house with lots of character, with hubby, my Mom (I am her caregiver) and my grand daughter that I have the most fun homeschooling! The last of my children grew up on me and moved out a few months ago. We have cows, chickens, ducks, rabbits and goats and of course they all have names :) We have 100 acres and are blessed with lots of wild life, a spring and creeks all around us. I grew up on this farm with a Mom and Dad that did "green"when green was not "in". In 2010 we came back to the farm and are trying to live as I was brought up, to live as simply as we can, respect the wild animals that also live here and to take care of the land for our future generations.
